Around the Web
Human cruelty toward animals is evident not only in slaughter, but even more so in the callous disregard for their lives. With an extraordinarily dispassionate lens, this documentary chronicles the ugliest atrocities behind humanity's claim as the paragon of creation. Watching this film requires immense courage, yet the truth it reveals is one that every single person must confront.
思郁 on Douban A shocking documentary that perfectly fulfills its role as a wake-up call. The imagery speaks for itself with devastating power, exposing what our society carefully prefers to hide. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a sober and powerful narration that underscores the gravity of the subject.
Gromit on SensCritique Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, Earthlings is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests.
